Synopsis

As close observers of a long and culturally significant textile tradition, pre-Conquest English writers drew upon their familiarity with spinning and weaving to create a wide range of metaphorical textile images in both Old English and Anglo-Latin literature. This book examines this imagery in close detail, situating it within its cultural and material contexts and addressing the ways in which lived experience informed these metaphors.
